Pediatric Lung Isolation for Robotic Lobectomy: A Combo Approach for Bronchial Blocker Placement.
Article in Annals of cardiac anaesthesia, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pediatric one-lung ventilation (OLV) is always challenging for the anesthesiologist. Despite a plethora of options in the present era, there still remains a concern regarding the choice and success of the modality to isolate the lungs in the pediatric age group especially for thoracoscopic procedures. Bronchial blockers provide an effective way to achieve OLV in patients below 6 years. With smaller-sized endotracheal tubes (ETTs) being used in this age group, a physical check of the fit between the equipment (bronchoscope and the blocker inside the ETT) is strongly recommended. In the present case report of a 3.5-year-old child requiring lung isolation for robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, we went a step ahead by using this entire assembly to intubate the patient. This innovative combo approach was chosen considering the anticipated struggle with manoeuvring the two components together. It was quick and safe in terms of decreased airway manipulation of pediatric airway.
